Can I clean up sewage myself?
Strongly recommend you don't. Black water carries E. coli, hepatitis A, salmonella, parasites, and other pathogens.

What gets thrown out?
Anything porous that the sewage touched: carpet, pad, drywall up to two feet above the contamination line, fiberglass insulation, particleboard, paper-faced ceiling tiles, fabric upholstery and mattresses.

Some semi-porous items (dimensional lumber, hardwood floors) can be saved with proper drying and antimicrobial treatment.
